Father,I abandon myself into your hands;do with me what you will.Whatever you may do, I thank you:I am ready for all, I accept all.

Let only your will be done in me,and in all your creatures -I wish no more than this, O Lord.

Into your hands I commend my soul:I offer it to you with all the love of my heart,for I love you, Lord, and so need to give myself,to surrender myself into your hands without reserve,and with boundless confidence,for you are my Father.

Aurelio Solver AgcaoiliLet's get this done: Prof Michael Soriano Macugay ken Manong Felix R. Udasco: iti umuna a nivel ti kaiyulogan ti 'kabanasan,' kainaran works. That is exactly what it tells. There is a problem with kennag, var kannag, as it alludes to the full light of the moon illuminating a huge expanse of a flatland in the evening. We need to articulate the difference when we establish the relationship between 'kabanasan' and 'kannag'/'kennag'. Apo Errol Abrew andDennis Mendoza: you are right about 'kapanagan' [note: punget-a-ramut, to wit, 'panag'. There is small problem here though: 'kapanagan' also refers to a stretch of a flatland we call the dry, sandy flatland between the shore (of a river, sea) and a fertile, arable land. The universals in the concept map work, but not the specifics. 'Kalawaan' works, adi a Nelson G. Daligcon ken adi nga Imelda Emy Toledo, but there is a 'Houston, there is problem' when you do a Venn (to account the overlap and the separation: 'kalawaan' (punget-a-ramut: 'lawa') is really a generic term (wenno panapasap a termino iti amin a 'nalawa') and this could apply to any other geographic formation not necessarily that of the 'kabanasan.' There is relationship between the 'kapatagan,' 'katay-akan,' and the 'kabanasan,' The problem with the first two: the reference, first to the plain/flat topography of a mountaintop/hilltop. Meaning, when we hit the second level of meaning, agsina no kuan dagiti umuna a termino (agsingin dagitoy: kapatagan/katay-akan, ket posible nga agkasinonimoda). In fine, amin dagitoy ket makikabagis iti umuna a nivel ti referensia--ket ngarud, justo ti observasionyo--ngem kadagiti sabali a nivel, makitatayo ti panagduduma dagitoy.

Aurelio Solver AgcaoiliThank you, ballong a Prof Michael Soriano Macugay: I swear I had to rebel against the Western form of taxonomizing our experience as much as we can. Our floral references work, and I thought they illuminate what collective experience we can show the world. I thought that the 'punget-a-ramut' is really more encompassing than the divided notion of 'stem' and 'root'.

Aurelio Solver AgcaoiliWen, Dra Aida Cuanang. I will post 'buttong/Buttong' next time. I was working on the toponyms as well, but it still a long way before daybreak. With the Namarsua's blessing of pia and karadkad, we can get this done--and soon.

Aurelio Solver AgcaoiliYes, I coined these things, Prof Michael Soriano Macugay. Practically the whole terminology of the Gramatika, in Ilokano, I coined them, based on their substantive references. And I had to justify--and explain and explicate these terms in that Gramatika book. In short, there were no Ilokano terms, Mike. Awan ti nagamiris nga ammok a kastoy ti ipaip nga inaramatda.

Aurelio Solver AgcaoiliThe trouble is that there had been Grammars on the Ilokano language, but these were all using either: the Latin/Spanish framework (with all the linguistic behavior of these languages, declension and inflection included), and the English language, also ...See More
